Re: “Jonathan Ferrell, me and the Geico pig”
Charles, I have thought long and hard about this tragic event. It occured just down my street. Helicopters, news crews,
and looky loos for days. It quickly became spectacularized. My gut responded it was
" because he was black". My neighborhood FB group had opinions, questions, condemnations and condolences. It was a study on ism upon ism.
An innocent young man lost his life! His potential completely denied. That's the issue for me. As we prejudge we deny worthy potential in each other. When we live under the spell of a prejudiced culture we deny our own.
Charles you always bring more clarity to difficult issues. You are our Flannery O'Connor. Just when we think we have "it" figured out, you teach us to see our world with brighter eyes and better thinking.
